Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

They fit true to size. I love the soft footbed. It does not affect the arch support which is still great. Very comfortable. Fast shipping and received quickly!

The mink is such a pretty rich color in suede. These will be a great fall staple with jeans, etc.

Love this item. At first I ordered them in narrow unknowingly and they were way to slim. I don’t think I have wide feet but I after trying these I know they’re not narrow. Returned for the regular width and love them. Usually an 8-8.5 and ordered these in a 7-7.5.

I wear a 7 and got a 38 and the fit is perfect

A bit tricky finding the right size. Some reviewers advise going with a 1/2 size smaller since it is an enclosed shoe rather than a sandal. That didn't work for me because downsizing changes where the arch support contacts your foot. On the other hand, regular width was too wide. What did work was staying with my regular size and switching to the narrow fit. The soft-footbed makes the break-in period a breeze. Please add it to more styles!

They fit well were a touch wide and just a touch bigger than my other Birks. I bought them for work, very comfy and perfect for what I need, the soft footbed feels different but in a good way. This is my third pair of Birks and I love them

These shoes take some breaking in, but once that happens, they’re super comfy.

These are soft and comfortable, like hugs for your feet. However, there's a weird design flaw: in the soft suede material, the cut outs under the strap bend and create a little annoyance. It's subtle, but you'd feel it all day long. Which is too bad, because I loved these.

My first pair of Birkenstocks. I never purchased a pair because of the lack of style. I was looking for a comfortable shoe I could wear anywhere, slip on and not be a sandal. I typically wear a women’s 10.5 and I ordered the 41 N. The 41 was slight too small so exchanged it for a 42 N. I find the food bed still hard but looking forward to breaking them in!

First time I have tried the 'soft' foot bed. They are much more comfortable than the regular foot bed. As for style, I love them! I wear them mostly around the house or for running quick errands.

I have narrow feet so I purchase the narrow and it was perfect! I still have room for socks during the winter. Love it!

Love these. They're comfortable and supportive. The suede hasn't held up the best, but they're comfy and I love. Can't beat Birks. I float between a 38 and 39, many sandals I wear a 38, these I had to do 39.

The Boston clog fits like the Arizona. I get the regular width and they're relatively roomy. Some styles, like the Gizeh, seem to be a little more narrow. If you like that fit, these may seem wide. The soft footbed is super comfortable. It is soft, but without feeling too plush or unsupportive. I'd read that you might need to size up in a closed style like this, but the bigger size was far too big. My usual 41 regular width fit perfectly. The taupe colour is a really nice neutral shade that goes with everything. It's especially cute with jeans.

I have been resoling my original pair of Boston's since 1995. They still feel great but the suede and cork are a little beat up. I will continue to use them as a beater pair. I thought that I'd try the soft soled version this time and I think that they will be great. They still feel like they have to break in a bit, but not nearly as much as the original ones needed to. The quality looks the same as my original pair from the 90's and they feel great. I look forward to decades of use from this pair as well. Love Birkenstocks!

This is my 3rd pair and I love the Boston for cold weather. I typically wear a size 10 sneaker and size 9.5 loafer or dress shoe. My foot also measures a 9.5E on the Brannock device. Based on my normal size I should wear a 42, but the 42 is too big. The 41 is perfect. I highly recommend Birkenstock Boston shoes. Once you break them in, it's like an extension of your foot.

I love these Birkenstock but I returned this pair because of the color. I ordered the Port which on my computer looks like a beautiful dark burgundy but really it was a light peachy-rust color, soles are brown. If you like fall colors this ones for you.

I got the 39 Narrow, and normally wear an 8-8.5 regular width. I was worried these were a bit snug because the inside hit my inner sole with a bit of a sharp edge, but once I adjusted the buckle to the loosest option, these fit like a glove. I'm wearing them with thin wool socks, and probably won't be going barefoot in them.

I ordered the soft footbed Boston in regular width and love them! The regular and narrow are NOT the same as listed on certain colors! I know this because I really wanted the Port color and it only comes in narrow. Birckenstock if your reading this,PLEASE bring back the regular width.

I love Birkenstock’s, especially in the summer! Transitioning into the cooler weather I needed a comfortable pair of shoes that were easy to take on and off! These did not disappoint, I read reviews first, and I’m glad I did. I am usually a 9. I ordered the size 40 narrow! Perfect fit. I read in previous emails of you are a women , the narrow fits better than the wide. I totally agree!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks in many years. I ordered the soft bed in the Brown Amalfi. The shoe has a wide toebox (which is no surprise for Birkenstocks) but I tightened the buckle and remedied that issue without a second thought. The color is a very dark brown - almost black, so I did exchange them for the Habana Oiled leather which the the exact color I wanted. I am thrilled with these. Non of the normal "breaking" in. They are ready to hit the pavement the minute you put them on!! Great purchase!

Bought the 5 the Mocha. First time ever buying Birkenstocks so I had to order SEVERAL to get a feel for fit and color. Narrow for Birks is really more like slightly wide. Wide is very wide. The mocha color is really rich and yummy. Definitely need to wear with thick socks.

I bought both the narrow and regular, to be safe. The Narrow seemed short and wouldn't work as well with thicker socks as the regular. As I intend to wear these in the cold weather, I need to be able to wear socks (plus they look cute like that). Yes they are a bit clunky, but I love my Birks and how they feel on my feet, so this 65 yo Grammy will be lookin hip w/ my socks and sandals look all winter. I love them with my standing desk at work, work with my bunions! I got the Havana Oiled Leather and love them, nice dark brown. I have the strap to the last hole for now.

Hi! Love these shoes! I wear Arizonas all summer and wanted a winter shoe. I had plantar fasciitis for three years and have a large bag of boots, braces, balls, ice packs, etc to prove it. (Religious downward dog yoga stretching is what finally fixed it.) Anyway, I do not want to go back there, so I rarely go bare foot. I bought these for weeknight and weekend wear. I’m a solid 7.5 women’s shoe and love the Arizonas in 38 narrow. Unfortunately, my long toes hit the suede in the 38 narrow Bostons. I went up to a 39 narrow and they turned into the dreamy Birks I hoped for. I wish they had gray suede but went with the dark green instead. That color is very rich, dark, and unobtrusive as Birks can get. Love them!

The first order was contianed in a plastic bag. The shoes felt very narrow and one shoe felt a whole size smaller. I called Zappos and Judith was a great help! She suggested that I may have received a defect pair and she sent me another pair overnight. The second pair were housed in a Birkenstock box and fit perfectly. I wear the same size and width in the soft sole in the open toe version as I do in the closed toe version. Both fit without a sock or with a thin sock. So comfy! Can’t beat real Birks! And I appreciate the great Zappos customer service.

Love the metallic copper! Gorgeous and fits as expected. Never had to return a pair!
